    Not if you punch in your order. P{us, some places you can see your order on the register so I look and make sure it's right. About 5% the guy still gets it wrong.

  6. The Ukraine and all. on Daniel Ellsberg: Snowden Would Not Get a Fair Trial – and Kerry Is Wrong · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Has it occurred to anyone that Snowden may have leaked documents concerning American game planning to Russian aggression in the Ukraine?
    Not that Putin needed a lot of help in making Obama his bitch.

  10. What does it take to publish in Chrome Web Store? on Google Starts Blocking Extensions Not In the Chrome Web Store · · Score: 1

    Aside from following rules like no spam and no child pornography, if your extension is free they charge you a $5 developer regisstration fee.

    So it seems to me to distribute by the Chrome eb Store is not that big an inconvenience,

  11. Key to this. on China Looks To Linux As Windows Alternative · · Score: 1

    People forget. One of the biggest reason businesses have for sticking to MS is that their customers use MS and they have to be able to exchange documents in MSs latest format. Well, with China using Linux companies are going to have to use document formats friendly to Linux.

    Goodbye a large chunk of vendor lockin.

    Sounds like something similar to what Lois McMasterBujold described about 20 years ago.

  14. Mandate less parking lots. on Fiat Chrysler CEO: Please Don't Buy Our Electric Car · · Score: 1

    All this crap talk about forcing people to use more electric cars ( which in the end is what it is, since the only way to get more of the population in electric cars is some sort of coercion ) so that they drop their carbon foot print 50%. Instead they can reduce their carbon emissions closer to 99% by just not driving: by walking, bicycling, or taking public transportation.

    The mechanism for this is quite simple, legislate business, malls etc ( the one exception residences ) can only supply enough parking for 10% of the maximum occupancy of their buildings. For businesses absolutely no reserved spots, however malls, stores, fast food places can limit parking to one or two hours. They can also reserve 10% of their parking for employees.

    At first there would be problems yes ( actually allow the percentage to go down slowly to 10%, this will give everyone time to adjust ), but in the end businesses would adapt with the result that car usage would greatly decrease causing a significant improvement in the environment.

    As for public transportation, I can attest that there is nothing more polluting then a year old bus. The solution is simple. Chicago used to have a great set of electric busses . We could just start using those again.

  24. Lavabit was a crappy company. on Why Lavabit Shut Down · · Score: 1

    They implemented some technology to insure security but never really showed they cared about security.

    Let us say that police showed showed up at a hospital demanding to see a poatients records. What would happen? Suddenly a bunch of lawyers would show up at the administrators office and they would be in court before the police lawyers got a chance to appear. Hospitals care about their patients security.

    What do I hear about Lavabit, time and again they are getting played by government lawyers in court. Seems like they didn't even have decent lawyers until the fifth or sixth round. They should have had lawyers before the fight even started.

    Assuming he is an American old enough to serve on a jury, and that is a big assumption., I doubt this guy could survive voir dire, so I doubt he ever got a jury trial.
